We have several birthdays to celebrate in November. Nokia, our beautiful white tiger turns 17 years old on November 3. We also mark the anniversary of her arrival at the Ranch this month. She came to us as a tiny 3-day old cub. Nokia enjoys her role as Animal Ambassador, having participated in the St. Augustine Easter and Christmas parades. She also reigned as cover star of the AT&T Companion Yellow Pages phone book several years ago.

Two of our “5 Girls”, Amara and Misha turn 4 years old on November 25. They and their 3 ‘roommates’ (aka ‘partners in crime!’) amuse Ranch visitors and volunteers with their non-stop activity – chasing, swimming, enjoying enrichment challenges. Now that they are 4, they plan to turn phone books and cardboard tubes into even finer confetti!
